The first part in this four part series deals with effects done with ordinary slates, ungimmicked and without flaps, that anyone can do without having to invest in expensive trick slates.
Note that this manuscript comes unbound in a package of loose sheets, the way Al Mann stored them. You can bind them anyway you like, or leave them unbound, perhaps only hole punch them and put them in a binder.

to grow as time passes. New methods will be dis covered and invented in the future just like in any other field of thought.
After studying the four parts or this series, the reader can be sure that he is well informed
in the art or slate magic. The series does not cover all of the great ideas that have appear in print through the years as that would talce a great deal more time, research and expence. However, the meat of all the great ideas of the art are here

One effects could not be written and inclu
ded since the copyrights are still valid. However the student and the collector have access to these ideas as most of them are sold through dealers.
